The labels-on-soupcans idea seems somewhat futile. Shelf stockers will immediately see the fake labels and peel them off, no harm done. The intended life of these cans is, I suspect, not the store shelves but the safe environs of the gallery. That safety takes away the real urgency that was there with the Droplifters (who, by the way, couldn't get their work released by major labels out of fear of litigation over their sampling of copyrighted clips).<BR/><BR/>Andrew(s)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
